    Indian Flats Falls

    Located in the Tremont section of the Great Smoky Mountains, near Cades Cove in Tennessee, Indian Flats Falls features a beautiful four-tiered series of waterfalls, totaling nearly 60-feet.

    The trek is approx. 8 miles out and back through a scenic, forested landscape, and hikers commonly have the area all to themselves to enjoy a peaceful visit.

  • Vintage Cooking

    Vintage Cooking

    Hey, thanks for stopping by! I’d planned to serve lunch to guests, today, but my new stove is back in the shop and this older model simply won’t suffice…alas. I’ll see what I can do about getting a fire started in the fireplace…

    In the meantime, you can visit my gallery to browse through a variety of prints offered featuring my photography. This old wooden cabin is located at the Grist Mill in Cades Cove, a verdant valley of the Smoky Mountains near Townsend, Tennessee.

  • Foothills Parkway

    These morning photographs were taken in the Smoky Mountains along the new section of the Foothills Parkway, between Wears Valley and Townsend, Tennessee. In lieu of an overcast sunrise, I was pleased to capture these scenic landscape images.

    You can see more when you visit my gallery.

    Next, I continued west up the old section of the Foothills Parkway (now open, following construction), and visited both Look Rock & Look Rock Tower. I’ll post about that in the coming days, so stay tuned…

  • Cades Cove

    Cades Cove

    Here’s a photograph taken while on my recent visit to Cades Cove. It shows a southern view, facing away from the Smoky Mountains in the direction to which the peaks taper off.

    Bears are popular here, and I had the pleasure of seeing four cubs. One was in the woods near the road, and quickly ran deeper into the forest. The other three were high in a tree, barely visible as obscured by the foliage, though commanding the attention of a small crowd of 20 cars and passengers, below. Bears are very good climbers and one cub was at the top of the tree, approx. 60-feet in the air, causing the tree to sway quite a bit.

    You can see more in my gallery – thanks!
